Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced appears to be one of the better examples of PS5 Pro support, with Ubisoft’s remake reportedly delivering ray traced visuals at 60 FPS in Performance Mode. The result gives Sony’s upgraded console a clear advantage over the base PS5 and Xbox Series X versions, especially for players who want smoother performance without giving up the visual quality normally tied to Quality Mode.
The comparison comes from a new video by ElAnalistaDeBits, which places each console version side by side across the game’s Quality, Balanced, and Performance modes. The key finding is that the PS5 Pro version can maintain visuals close to the base PS5 and Xbox Series X Quality Mode while still running at 60 FPS in Performance Mode.
That is important because PS5 Pro support has not always been consistent across games. Some launch period titles struggled to show a meaningful upgrade, especially when PSSR was still early. With the newer PSSR 2.0 upscaler, however, results have improved in several recent releases, and Black Flag Resynced seems to benefit from that progress.
Ubisoft’s remake appears well optimized across console and PC
The PS5 Pro version stands out because it combines ray tracing, strong image quality, and 60 FPS performance. That makes it the best console option for Black Flag Resynced based on the comparison. For players with a base PS5 or Xbox Series X, the game still appears to run well, but the Pro version offers a better balance without forcing the usual choice between image quality and frame rate.
| Version or platform | Reported strength | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 Pro Performance Mode | Ray traced visuals at 60 FPS | Similar visual quality to base console Quality Mode |
| Base PS5 Quality Mode | Stronger visuals | Lower performance target than Performance Mode |
| Xbox Series X Quality Mode | Stronger visuals | Comparable target to base PS5 Quality Mode |
| PC with RTX 4080 class hardware | 4K at 120 FPS with DLSS reported | Strong optimization on high end systems |
| All versions | Solid overall performance | Remake appears technically polished |
The PC version also seems to be in good shape. The reference system mentioned in the original report used an Intel Core i7 13700F, an RTX 4080, and 32GB of RAM, running the game at 4K with DLSS and reaching 120 FPS without heavy settings changes. That suggests the remake is not only tuned for consoles, but also scales well on modern PC hardware.
This is a good sign for Ubisoft, especially because Black Flag Resynced is already drawing strong attention from Assassin’s Creed fans. The remake is based on one of the most loved entries in the series, and its early performance appears stronger than Assassin’s Creed Shadows in some areas. A polished technical release can help maintain that momentum, particularly when players are returning to a game they already hold in high regard.
The PS5 Pro result also matters for Sony. The console has faced criticism over its high price and uneven early support, so games that clearly show its advantage are important. Black Flag Resynced gives the system a stronger showcase by offering a visible improvement that players can understand immediately: high end visuals with ray tracing while keeping 60 FPS.
That does not make the PS5 Pro an easy purchase for everyone. Recent price increases have made the system less attractive, and many players will still be satisfied with the base PS5 or Xbox Series X versions. But for those who already own the Pro or want the best console version of Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft’s support appears to deliver a real benefit.
The broader takeaway is that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced looks like a technically solid remake. It runs well across formats, scales strongly on PC, and uses the PS5 Pro hardware in a meaningful way. For a remake of a fan favorite, that combination matters almost as much as the nostalgia itself.
